ok. was doing recrysttallization in warm naptha. worked out great. i got the idea to transfer the naptha/spice mix from the shot glass i boiled it in into another one that i had scratched up while it was cooking to grow crystals.

well, some of the spice stuck in the pipette. i threw the both shot glasses (the one i boiled in and the one i transferred to) in the freezer, as well as the pipette, to prcipitate. wow. one hour in the freezer and my crystals are already coming out white.

thing is...how do i get them out of my pipette? break it and scrape it or is there a chemical way to safely clean the inside and save all the spice and the pipette? i've no problem breaking it. crystals are gonna look nice i think. thanks for the help. i love it here.

why not just suck some warm naphtha with the pipette to redissolve the spice and then put it in a container to freeze or evap?

why not you ask? because that would make sense and i don't make sense. thanks. will do.
